Why does Immerse use the Oculus Go instead of 6DOF (degrees of freedom)?

The Oculus Go’s simplicity, portability, affordability, and approachability make it the perfect headset to scale VR services within an organization. Without the need for additional sensor/space setup, organizations can truly take advantage of Immerse’s social VR features without requiring large dedicated VR rooms. With an intuitive and simple controller, the on boarding of new participants is incredibly fast and easy so they can spend more time training and less time struggling to figure out the controls.
